I just got an Olympus M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 75–300mm 1:4.8–6.7 II. Plonked it on my camera and went to photo some ducks etc at a local park. Using single shot I got some good shots when they were sitting still and moving slowly (those furry ducks are twitchy little buggers! (squirrels)). Hand held using the autofocus and AP.
So I got a few good shots, none that I would post here and went back to do some research on photographing birds.
I found this on youtube

and at a certain point it hit me.
I'M STILL SHOOTING FILM!!!
"ISO you idiot, you don't have to go back to a shop and buy a new film to change the ISO!"
Going to take it out over the weekend and get to know it better.
